Hey everyone! As one of the perks of being part of YouMedia, you can use your points to purchase several items. After gaining a good amount of points, I redeemed them for a Gelaskin laptop cover.

Without the loads of designs (also being able to upload your own) from gelaskin, the design I chose was “Cohabitations” by Philip Straub (image can be found here). The awesome thing about gelaskins, besides “pimping out your gadget”, is the UV protection that is added as well. Although it may be a bit expensive, it is an investment worth doing.

Gelaskins are also available for your mobile devices such as Ipods and PSPs.

Robot battles, “Old town”, and the “Idea Factory”, those concepts can pretty much sum up my day at the Museum of Science and Industry in Hyde Park, Chicago.

Awesome news about Infinity Ward, FF13 and Assassin’s Creed 2!

I was at the local Gamestop, and I was browsing the PC Games section and much to my surprise, I found a “Dirty Dancing” PC Game. Let me correct my mistake, I found THREE “Dirty Dancing” PC Games. I wonder who would be the adult (assuming kids would avoid this) who would buy this for themselves or their sons & daughters.

What was “Dirty Dancing”? (wikipedia)

Dirty Dancing is a 1987 romantic film made in the United States. Written by Eleanor Bergstein and directed by Emile Ardolino, the film features Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Grey, Cynthia Rhodes, and Jerry Orbach. The story is a coming of age drama that documents a teenaged woman’s rebellion against her father by starting a relationship with a dance instructor during a family summer vacation.

If your parents offer you a video game, and they are big fans of Patrick Swayze and his films, I’d avoid the offer, and just get what is on STEAM.

(sorry for the bad quality) – So I was playing Final Fantasy VII on my PSP, and right when (SPOILER ALERT ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-) Aeris is killed by Sephiroth, the boss battle, and the monologue, the screen above appeared with the world “beacause” instead of “because”. It may have been a translation error (from Japan to United States), or it could be a whole new conspiracy! I know there must be hundreds of grammatical errors in video games (Gametrailers has a video dedicated to this), but if find an interesting one, let me know
